Mumu like you have been named don't you know inflation can cool down without dragging the economy into reccession in a term called SOFT LANDING. And who told you double digit intrest rate is healthy for the economy. So you mean all the years before covid when us rates where close to zero means the us was in a recession all those years mad fool trying to twist the truth. So nigeria with high intrest rate means we are not closer to recession but it is a better thing for inflation to kill you? Dont be unwise you can only decieve the mumus like you

Netanyahu is baiting Iran.
Iran is very close to acquiring a nuclear weapon.
If it retaliates harshly, the mindless drones in the US may greenlight a multinational intervention.

Russia is busy. China is weathering an economic storm. Iran has to thread the needle.
Iran has to act impotent until it secures that prized thermonuclear weapon.
Then it can smash Israel's head in, and if anyone asks questions, test fire a nuclear weapon in a ballistic missile capable of hitting the continental US.

Delayed gratification is the name of the game presently.
Too many Iranians have died to gut it all for emotional catharsis.

Consider that Spain, Malta, Slovenia, and Ireland have agreed in principle to recognize Palestine.
Spain may do so as early as July this year.
What do you think happens when Iran in a tit-for-tat strikes a Israeli diplomatic corps infrastructure in say Jordan or Morocco?
That plan could be shelved as the entire West rallies behind a new War cry that's been the fever dream for war hawks in Tel Aviv, Washington, and London for decades.

I cannot believe that I would ever support the Mullahs over an Israeli government, but Netanyahu has wrought the most damage to the State of Israel in its entire history. He must be expelled.
When the Israeli left were warning the world about Netanyahu, I thought they were being dramatic.
I'm aware that he'll be made into a sacrificial lamb. But if there was ever a character in recent world history that deserves to be hung out to dry, it'll be him.

I see these explanations as mere excuses, particularly given the significant influence I believe Iran holds in the region. However, if they perceive themselves as lacking the capacity to confront Israel directly, then by all means, it would be prudent for them to proceed cautiously.

Although I agree that The potential for escalation is concerning, and Netanyahu's role in exacerbating tensions cannot be overlooked.

āš”Ukraine is at great risk of its front lines collapsing.

According to high-ranking Ukrainian military officers who served under General Valery Zaluzhny ā€” the commander-in-chief of Ukraineā€™s armed forces until he was replaced in February ā€” the military picture is grim.

The officers said thereā€™s a great risk of the front lines collapsing wherever Russian generals decide to focus their offensive.

Moreover, thanks to a much greater weight in numbers and the guided aerial bombs that have been smashing Ukrainian positions for weeks now, Russia will likely be able to ā€œpenetrate the front line and to crash it in some parts,ā€ they said.

Ukraine needs 4 million shells and 2 million drones.

No response from Iran can be fairly termed a bad decision.
If they retaliate strongly, it's been a long time coming.
If they exercise restraint, it is a prudent move.

Dozens of Iranian scientists have been assassinated within and outside Iran.
Facilities within Iran have sustained damage from sabotage efforts.
Meanwhile, Russia continues to allow Israel operate freely in Syria.

If you're in Iran's shoes, regardless of the provocation, you will not be in a hurry to discard all of those sacrifices when you're so close to your long term goal.
Israel has been itching for a confrontation because they know Iran becomes untouchable after becoming a nuclear power.
How often does Israel strike Pakistan, even though it hosts a range of destabilizing forces in the region.
Israel will pull every trick in the book to goad Iran into a hot conflict so they can exact maximum damage on Iran, set them back several decades, and attempt regime change.

And, therefore, those skilled in war bring the enemy to the field of battle and are not brought there by him.
Sun Tzu.

Israel wants this hot exchange far more than Iran does because it possesses escalation dominance.
All of NATO will come to its aid whatever it does.
Russia can handle all of NATO. Can Iran do the same with a distracted Russia?
A nuclear weapon upends this dynamic and Iran must do all it can to avoid a confrontation until it possesses the means to turn Tel Aviv into a parking lot.

āš”Israeli embassies across the Middle East being evacuated

They're taking precautionary measures. Iran has too many proxies that are willing to commit terrorist act against Israeli targets in the Middle East. But, how long would they keep their embassies evacuated? This shows that the strike was a foolish strategy. They didn't think this through before carrying out the act.

Watcharena:
lol so what's the gain of attacking Iranian consulate

The Tel Aviv thug became very desperate.
He was under immense pressure home and abroad.

It was a gamble and a desperate move to:
Divert attention from his mounting Gaza failures.
Get the Israeli public to rally behind him once again (in the event of a war with Iran).
To get back the full support of Iran-obssessed US politicians (which is waning fast).
To get some breather from the totally embarrassing murder of aid workers from friendly countries.
And more.

Whether this gamble will pay off will be determined solely by the response of Iran.

Make we dey watch.

āš”French President Macron held confidential talks with US President Biden and German Chancellor Scholz in February to persuade them to change the West's strategy in Russia's war against Ukraine, WSJ reports.

Macron believes that Western countries should adopt a position of strategic uncertainty regarding the Russian Federation, which would leave all options on the table, including military ones.

The idea represents a radical departure from the position the Biden administration has taken since the start of the war: avoiding actions that could provoke Moscow and lead to an escalation of the conflict.

Biden has questioned the need for a change in strategy, amid fears it could lead to escalation. Scholz also opposed this idea.
